VIew Gold without opening bags?

Barleduq · 03-31-12, 05:27 PM

I'd like to be able to see how much gold I have without opening *anything* - the way you can see how much bagspace you have (which is a blizz-provided toggle). I have a couple of addons that track it (track o matic and analyst, for two) but unless gold is *all* I'm tracking, track o matic's display is larger than I want, and analyst does something completely different - which I like, but having it visible all the time isn't useful to me.

Something that shows it on the bags (the way the available bagspace is) would be ideal. Searching 'gold track' or 'gold view' didn't find me anything like what I'm looking for.

Thank you!

This can be accomplished by using an info bar, like DataBroker. This creates a bar, then you can put plugins on it to track various information that you'd like to see.

You'll need a bar addon, here are a few to choose from:

Code:

Docking Station
Bazooka
ChocolateBar

Then you'll want a plugin that shows your gold:

Code:

iMoney
zz_Money
Broker_Currency
Broker_wGold (Shameless self-promotion)

Just to name a few

SLDataText gives you information text boxes for pretty much everything including gold. Customisable for position, font, scale etc.

If you want *just* gold, there's this: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...impleGold.html

Thank you! I've downloaded this and am trying it out.

And yeah - I realize that, by installing addons, I *am* changing my UI in small increments. But I don't want massive changes, and so I don't want an entirely new UI; in many ways I'm still learning the interface to start with. All I wanted was to be able to see how much gold I have without opening anything.

Thank you for the pointer!

So I pulled down simplegold, as suggested, and it does exactly what I want. yay! Unfortunately, it also throws errors on occasion, and as far as I can tell the author is no longer in the community. (no response to comments on the addon page, to comments in the portal, to email sent to the email mentioned in the profile.)

So my question becomes, is there anyone willing to look at the errors, and/or is there another addon that does this and doesn't give errors?
